I think tower hobbies had a .40 sized model of one of these designed to run two .25 nitros. i really wanted to build a non scale.version of this plane for a while. either that or a variaeeze or other burt rutan model. i like the idea of a fully functional canard, but I'm afraid to actually impliment.it.

It has a fixed main canard surface with elevator on it.
Some Canard designs (including the Wright Flyer) have/had "flying stab" forward surfaces where the whole surface was moved to act as elevator. Some have fixed forward surfaces and depend on elevator/elevon on the main wing for pitch control.

Lots of ways to do it... you can mix and match flying stab + elevators on the forward surface and elevons if you want.

Looks like a really good starting point for the subject Chellie. With a bit of vision, there's a lot of models that are good starting points for bashing into subjects that will probably never be offered off the shelf.
